Sargent 98-2470 Chassis Assembly for 80 Series Exit Devices — RHRB

The Sargent 98-2470 (12-9804) is a genuine OEM chassis assembly designed for the Sargent 80 Series exit device. This core operating component serves as the mechanical heart of the exit device: when the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers that force directly to this chassis, which retracts the latch bolt to allow safe, code-compliant egress. Handing for this assembly is RHRB (Right Hand Reverse Bevel). Sourcing the correct OEM chassis assembly ensures the exit device performs to its original design specification, maintaining reliable life-safety function on high-traffic commercial and institutional doors.
